La Lliga de Campions de l'AFC 2019 va ser la 38a edició del principal torneig de clubs de futbol de l'Àsia organitzat per la Confederació Asiàtica de Futbol (AFC), i el 17é en l'actual format com Lliga de Campions de l'AFC.

El guanyador de la competició, l'Al-Hilal, es va classificar per a la Copa Mundial de Clubs de la FIFA 2019 a Qatar després de vèncer a la final a Urawa Red Diamonds.

Kashima Antlers era el vigent campió, però va ser eliminat pel Guangzhou Evergrande als quarts de final pel valor doble dels gols marcats fora de casa.

Assignació d'equips d'associació
Es van classificar les 46 associacions membres de l' AFC (excloent el membre associat de les Illes Mariannes del Nord), en funció del rendiment de la seva selecció i clubs dels darrers quatre anys a les competicions de l'AFC, amb l'assignació de places per a les edicions 2019 i 2020 del club a les competicions AFC determinades pel rànquing AFC 2017 (Manual d'entrada article 2.3):

 Les associacions es divideixen en dues regions:
 La Regió Oest està formada per les associacions de la Federació de Futbol de l'Àsia Occidental (WAFF), l' Associació de Futbol de l'Àsia Central (CAFA) i la Federació de Futbol de l'Àsia del Sud (SAFF).
 La Regió Est està formada per les associacions de la Federació de Futbol del Sud-est Asiàtic (AFF) i la Federació de Futbol de l'Àsia Oriental (EAFF).
 A cada regió, hi havia quatre grups a la fase de grups, incloent un total de 12 places directes, amb les 4 franges restants completades per play-offs.
 Les 12 millors associacions de cada regió segons el rànquing AFC eren elegibles per entrar a la Lliga de Campions de l'AFC, sempre que compleixin els criteris de la Lliga de Campions de l'AFC.
 Les sis primeres associacions de cada regió van obtenir com a mínim una plaça directa a la fase de grups, mentre que la resta d'associacions només reben places de play-off (així com places per a la fase de grups de la Copa AFC):
 Les associacions classificades 1r i 2n van aconseguir cadascuna tres places directes i una de play-off.
 Les associacions classificades 3r i 4t van aconseguir cadascuna dues places directes i dues play-off.
 Les associacions classificades en el cinquè lloc van aconseguir una plaça directa i dues de play-off.
 Les associacions classificades en el sisè lloc van obtenir una plaça directa i una altra de play-off.
 Les associacions classificades del setè al dotzè lloc van obtenir una plaça de play-off.
 El nombre màxim de places per a cada associació era d'un terç del nombre total d'equips elegibles a la primera divisió.
 Si alguna associació renunciava als seus espais directes, es redistribuïen a l'associació més alta, amb cada associació limitada a un màxim de tres places directes.
 Si alguna associació renunciava a les seves places de play-off, eren anul·lades i no es redistribuïen a cap altra associació.

Rànquing de l'associació
Per a la Lliga de Campions de l'AFC 2019, les associacions van rebre espais segons el rànquing d'associació publicat el 15 de desembre de 2017, que tenia en compte el seu rendiment a la Lliga de Campions de l'AFC i a la Copa AFC, així com el de la seva selecció nacional als Rànquings mundials de la FIFA, entre 2014 i 2017.

Notes
1. Austràlia (AUS): La primera divisió dirigida per la Federació de Futbol d'Austràlia, la Lliga A, només tenia nou equips amb seu a Austràlia la temporada 2017-18, de manera que Austràlia només va poder obtenir un màxim de tres posicions en total (Manual d'entrada 5.4).
2. Bahrain (BHR): Bahrain no tenia cap equip que tingués llicència per a la Lliga de Campions de l'AFC.
3. Síria (SYR): Síria no va implementar el sistema de llicències de clubs de la Lliga de Campions de l'AFC.

Equips
Els següents 51 equips de 22 associacions van participar en la competició.

A la taula següent, el nombre d'aparicions i la darrera aparició només es compten des de la temporada 2002-03 (incloses les rondes de classificació), quan la competició es va canviar com a Lliga de Campions de l'AFC. TH significa titulars del títol.

 Notes
1. Malàisia (MAS): Pahang, campió de la Copa FA Malàisia 2018, va ser suspès de tots els torneigs AFC per no tenir permís per sol·licitar llicències AFC durant dos anys. Com a resultat, Perak, subcampió de la Copa, va entrar als play-off de classificació.
2. Singapur (SIN): Albirex Niigata Singapur, campió de la Lliga Premier de Singapur 2018, és un equip satèl·lit del club japonès Albirex Niigata i, per tant, no és elegible per representar Singapur en competicions de clubs AFC. Com a resultat, Home United, subcampió de la lliga, va entrar als play-off de classificació.

HomepcThe Witcher 3 has generated $50M in revenue on Steam
The Witcher 3 has generated $50M in revenue on Steam
Revenue from sales of The Witcher 3 on Steam has exceeded $50 million since October 1, 2018. CD Projekt Red announced the statistics in a tweet, explaining that as a result of the success of the open-world RPG the company is now getting 80 percent of any subsequent sales.
Most developers get 70 percent of their sales with the rest going to Valve, but that changes if a game generates more revenue. If a game makes $10 million, the share increases to 75 percent, and a further 5 percent if it hits $50 million, which is where the Witcher 3 is comfortably sitting.
Just last week it was reported that The Witcher 3 sales were up 554% in December, the same month The Witcher's Netflix show released. The game also broke 100,000 concurrent player count on Steam for the very first time at the end of January.

The Newest Rant: Xbox One Reverses its Rules About Basically Everything.
Xbox One Reverses its Rules About Basically Everything.
Remember how mad everyone (myself included) was about Xbox One and its absurd rules? Well, Microsoft realized they could very well release a bomb and have done a complete and utter turnaround about almost everything. Folk are humorously calling this the Xbox One-80. Seriously.
No longer will you have to check in daily to some Microsoft server, used games can now be shared, and Kinect 2.0 is still required (so it isn't all good news, I guess). I suppose the lesson in all this is that if enough people get together and protest something, companies may very well listen. In other words the very thing our parents didn't want us to think happens came true--we complained enough about something until we got what we wanted. So, yah! Even if some people want to claim this is bad for some inexplicable reason. Anyways, there is your good news to finish out the day.


High school yearbooks throughout the land have predictions of those "Most likely to succeed." Reunions years later often belie these predictions.
Jesus' classmates in Nazareth missed it too when it came to Jesus' future. Their familiarity with him bred a kind of contempt—at least blindness to what he could become. In a Gospel filled with wonders, miracles and amazement on the part of the people about Jesus, it was in Nazareth that Jesus was amazed at the lack of faith of the people. Hardly any healings took place there.
Accompany the Twelve on their first missionary journey. Grieve with them and with Jesus over the beheading of John the Baptist.
This is the fifth of thirteen weeks in the season of Pentecost, Year B.
Fridays from now until Advent are dedicated to the Gospel of Mark.

Tip rubbing is done to create knots in the loose hair at the tips of your dreadlocks. If you're following my advice you'll have rubber bands on the tips of your dreads right up until it's time to pull the tips into the ends of the dreads and make "blunt" or rounded tips.
You won't really need to keep the tips knotted when you have a rubber band holding it. You might do so just to make it look a bit more dread-like, but since the band is holding is securely the dread should be fine either way.
So, the two times when you might use tip rubbing would be, first, if you have just taken the bands of your roots and you're about to pull the loose hair into the dread. It's good to knot up the loose hair as much as possible before you pull it in so some tip rubbing would come in handy. The other time that it might be used is if you decided against using bands at the tips or didn't have them available? In which case you are tip rubbing regularly, hoping that your tips will stay knotted long enough to lock up. In thicker dreads this may work. In thin dreads....best of lock with that =] I think you'll find that the tips in thinner dreads will unravel rather quickly again and again, long before they lock. The solution of course is to pull the loose hair way up into the end of the dread with a loose hair tool, where it will stay put.
Tip rubbing is super easy but it is one of those things that requires a bit of practice before you're really proficient. It's also one of those things that only works if the hair is prepped properly so make sure you've followed the tips for getting the hair ready for "A" week knotting type stuff.
To tip rub a dreadlock you'll want to grab the dread between your thumb and forefinger at the point that the dread transitions from knotted hair to loose hair. Ideally this will leave you with about an inch or so of loose hair to make knots in sticking out beyond your thumb and finger. A little more or less is ok too.
Lightly press this loose hair into the palm of your other hand and rub it around in circles. Either direction is fine but you always want to be consistent. I usually go clockwise because that's easy to remember.
After 30-40 seconds of rubbing you should start to see some pretty good knots developing. Often the hair at the very end will flair out as well. When it does you can move your grip closer to the tip and rub some more. You'll get faster results with practice and with good prepping of the hair. A dash of lock pepper in the palm of the hand you're rubbing in will cause knots almost immediately. It's really pretty awesome to see.
If you're pulling the tip up into the dread you don't want to have a the tip knotted too tightly. It will actually be easiest to pull in and lock the fastest if it's knotty but the knots are knot compressed and tight yet. That way they can compress and tighten after they've been pulled up into the dread and they will lock around other hair inside the dread.
After things are good and knotty you can use your Loose Hair Tool to pull the knotted hair up into the dread where it can lock with other knotted hair and create a solid rounded tip that will last.

Under threat East Kilbride International Development base set to be given a reprieve
It emerged this week that Abercrombie House in Hairmyres is to escape a planned Whitehall shake-up which could have seen 600 local jobs at risk.

Downing Street is likely to abandon plans to scrap the Department for International Development in East Kilbride.
It emerged this week that the under threat Abercrombie House in Hairmyres is to escape a planned Whitehall shake-up which would have seen the department absorbed by the Foreign Office.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson had revealed radical plans to abolish departments, sack a third of the cabinet and reform how civil servants are hired.
The controversial move put 600 local jobs at risk.
But the spokesman for No 10 has hinted that the decision had been made to avoid organisational turmoil.
Hundreds of new homes given green light as part of East Kilbride growth area
The International development office is now likely to be given a reprieve in order for the PM to focus on traditional priorities.
A spokesman for No 10 said that at the beginning of a new government they "wouldn't expect to deliver against the priorities the PM has set out".
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) insisted it "remains alert" to any potential changes.
Cat Boyd, PCS national officer said: "There has been no indication that Abercrombie House is under threat, and there appears to be no immediate plans for a Machinery of Government change which would see DfID merge with another Ministry.
"PCS does, however, remain alert to any potential changes, and we receive regularly weekly updates from DfID HR.
"PCS has a good history of fighting office closure, our union representatives in the HMRC set up in the Stay in EK which we continue to support."
The DfID works to end extreme poverty and, over its 22 years in existence, has saved millions of lives.
The department, which produces around £30million for the local economy, has led the world in tackling Ebola, gender inequality, the crisis in Syria and the provision of lifesaving aid in emergencies.

An online petition launched by ActionAid in protest to the plans garnered 30,000 signatures, with East Kilbride MSP Linda Fabiani writing to the Secretary of State requesting clarity on the situation locally.
Commenting this week, Linda Fabiani MSP said: "I wrote to the Secretary of State for Scotland just before Christmas regarding reports that the Department for International Development was going to be incorporated by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
"I expressed concern over potential losses of civil service jobs, possible redundancies, relocation plans, and what the UK Government's intentions with DfID are more generally, as they may very well affect East Kilbride. I have yet to receive a response.
"I see they've told the Press though that Downing Street is likely to abandon these plans.
"I still want a written response from the UK Government's Scotland Office because people are understandably concerned. I will of course share this with the East Kilbride News on receipt."
The DfID told the News it would not comment until a decision had been made.

Bill Gates says U.S. clean energy spending should equal defense outlay
Source: Lauren Morello, E&E reporter • Posted: Monday, November 21, 2011
The United States should spend as much on clean energy research as it does on health and defense research, Microsoft founder Bill Gates says.
"There really is no other choice," Gates wrote in an editorial published yesterday in the journalScience. "Carbon-based fuels are prone to wild price gyrations and are causing the planet to overheat."Moreover, countries like China, Germany, Japan and Korea are investing heavily in clean energy technology, the Microsoft founder said, and the United States is not. Federal spending on energy research and development has dropped by more than 75 percent over the past 30 years."It would be a serious miscalculation if America missed out on this singular opportunity," said Gates.
He praised the country's universities, national laboratories and "entrepreneurial talent," but said the government must fund its own clean energy research to jump-start the sector, not simply offer market incentives.
It's a message Gates has been pushing on Capitol Hill recently as part of a group of high-profile business executives called the American Energy Innovation Council, whose members include the leaders of Lockheed Martin Corp., Xerox Corp., Bank of America Corp. and General Electric Co. (ClimateWire, Sept. 14).
The group issued a report in September calling for a $16 billion annual public-sector investment in clean energy development, compared to the current $5 billion.
To cover the costs of that increase, the group recommended reducing or eliminating existing subsidies to "well-established" energy industries, using some of the royalties from domestic energy production, imposing a small fee on electricity sales, or putting a price on carbon emissions.
The CEOs also pushed a number of other suggested reforms, including a new "quadrennial energy review" modeled on the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review — an idea also supported by several members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, who have introduced bills that would direct the Energy Department to conduct a regular energy review.
"Energy transformations take generations," Gates said in his Science piece. "But if the United States begins in earnest today, the nation's energy challenges can be solved in ways that truly set America on a path of energy independence and that provide affordable energy for everyone, especially the poor. The return on this kind of investment could change — perhaps even save — the world and provide generations to come with a brighter future."

When you have an unusual rash or skin discoloration, you frequently seek out pictures of skin disorders and skin diseases since using pictures is an easy away to self-diagnose potential problems. However, you should always follow up on your research with a visit to the dermatologist. Look through this slideshow to see nine skin disorders and learn a little about them.
Cold sores or fever blisters, caused by the herpes simplex virus, are relatively harmless, although they can be painful and embarrassing. Symptoms will usually heal on their own in a few days, but over-the-counter creams, pills, and ointments are available to reduce pain and redness. If you're experiencing a cold sore for the first time or are unsure of whether or not your lesion is a cold sore, check with a physician.
Vitiligo is a disorder in which pigment is destroyed, causing white patches to appear on various parts of the body. While the exact cause of the disorder is not known, many theories suggest it is a genetic autoimmune disease. Vitiligo isn't harmful or painful, although it can cause embarrassment and emotional distress. There is no cure, but some treatments can help disguise and possibly reverse the depigmentation.
One of the more common skin disorders, psoriasis causes red, flaky, scaly skin. The most common type, plaque psoriasis, is characterized by patches of thickened red skin covered by silvery scales. Psoriasis may affect any part of the body, although it's most frequently seen on elbows and knees. While psoriasis isn't contagious, it may be inherited. There is no cure for psoriasis, but there are treatment options, so see your doctor if you have signs of the disorder.
Ringworm is a raised, red, scaly infection caused by fungus. It is highly contagious and can spread from person to person and also from animals to people. You can treat a ringworm with over-the-counter antifungal medicines, but you should see a doctor for a ringworm that won't go away or one that comes back.
Eczema is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the skin's outer layer. There are several different types of eczema and symptoms may vary depending on type and severity, but they often include redness, itchiness, scaling, and dryness. Eczema sometimes causes blisters that weep, ooze, or crust. Some types of eczema are temporary and are the result of an allergic reaction, while others are chronic. See your doctor for a diagnosis and possible treatment.
Yeast rashes can appear anywhere on the body, but they are most common in skin folds, such as the groin, armpit, and under the breasts. A rash caused by yeast is usually red, flat, and itchy. These rashes can be treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams, but you should seek medical advice if the rash doesn't respond to treatment or if you develop a fever. People with weakened immune systems should speak to a doctor before self-treating a yeast skin rash.
Redness across the cheeks, forehead, or nose is the most common and obvious symptom of rosacea, but it can also be accompanied by acne. Unless it affects the eyes, rosacea is harmless. Treatment often isn't needed, although many patients choose to use makeup to cover up the ruddiness. For many people with rosacea, certain triggers can cause the redness to flare up. Learning to recognize and avoid these triggers can help alleviate the symptoms. Triggers vary from person to person, but often include alcohol, stress, overheating, wind, extreme cold, and spicy foods.
Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, so you're at risk if you've ever had chicken pox. Symptoms of shingles include small blisters accompanied by some or all of the following: burning, tingling, numbness, fever, chills, headache, joint pain, hearing loss, drooping eyelid, and stomach ache. If you believe you have shingles, see your doctor right away for treatment, especially if you have a weakened immune system.
Most moles are harmless, but some do become cancerous. The most dangerous form of skin cancer is melanoma. See your doctor for any mole that changes or for any new moles, lumps, or nodules on the skin. You should check your moles periodically and be alert for the following: aysmmetry, irregular borders, uneven or irregular color, diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or growth. If your mole is firm to the touch or elevated above the surface of your skin, have it checked out by a dermatologist. Although most skin issues are more inconvenient than dangerous, some do require swift treatment. Your best bet is to see a doctor for any skin rash or disorder than concerns you.

Q: pickerView in Swift does not display data This seems too simple to qualify as a post, but I've been stuck on this issue for longer than I'd like. The pickerView does not display the array [durations]. When run, the simulator is just the empty field. The code was copied directly from the UI class, yet it seems to be missing something.
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource {
    @IBOutlet weak var durationPicker: UIPickerView!
    var durations = ["72 hours", "24 hours", "6 hours", "2 hours", "20 minutes"]
    var durationsValue = [72.0, 24.0, 6.0, 2.0, 0.329]
    var itemSelected: String = ""
    var selectedDuration: Double = 0.0

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    func numberOfComponentsInPickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
        return 5
    }

    func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String! {
        return durations[row]
    }

    func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
        itemSelected = durations[row]
        selectedDuration = durationsValue[row]
    }
}

A: You need to set the delegate and the datasource inside viewDidLoad()
durationPicker.delegate = self
durationPicker.dataSource = self

Or just connect your picker delegate and datasource using Xcode interface

A: I suggest watching this video. This lady does an excellent job explaining various iOS-related topics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdXmIViD17U
The issue that jumps out at me is you've got arrays specified at the top. Rather than hard-code values in, you should use return yourArray.count to return Ints.

Pornography, Self-Government, and the 'Res Publica'
By Aaron Taylor
Americans must be baffled by the British Prime Minister. David Cameron, who describes himself as a "liberal conservative," has spent the past year crusading to legalize gay marriage. But now he has announced that his next crusade will be against the "corroding influence" of online pornography.
"Many children are viewing internet pornography at a very early age, and the nature of that pornography is so extreme that it is distorting their view of sex and relationships," he argues. Among the raft of proposals announced, access to pornography will be banned on public Wi-Fi networks, and every home will have a family-friendly filter which blocks pornography on all devices by default, though customers will be able to override the default block if they can verify they are over 18. Simulated "rape porn" will also be outlawed.
Perhaps even more baffling to Americans, aside from the objections of a few die-hard left-libertarian journalists and "web freedom" campaigners, Cameron's proposals are not the subject of any real ideological controversy. The left-wing Labour Party – the UK's second largest party – has called for even stricter measures, dubbing online porn "a modern-day form of pollution," and Cameron's rape porn ban will in fact only require the closing of a loophole in legislation introduced by the last Labour government. When one considers that Labour has the highest number of female lawmakers, it isn't surprising that they don't necessarily take the same relaxed attitude as some American progressives, who have made the absurd claim that to outlaw rape porn would be to send the message to a woman that "her sexuality is something about which she should feel afraid and ashamed." Even Kafka couldn't have made it up.
The most scathing criticism of Cameron has actually come from the American Right, and provides an interesting insight into some of the key errors of the increasingly popular libertarian brand of conservatism.
Charles Cooke at the National Review speaks for many conservatives when he accuses Cameron of a "power grab," and of trying to abridge British liberties. Given that Justice Power Stewart, in the famous obscenity case of Jacobellis v. Ohio, conceded that he could "never succeed in intelligibly" defining obscenity, how can we expect the British government to do so? It is not a case, Cooke argues, of defending rape porn or indeed any kind of porn, but of defending "the liberty of consenting adults," and the "spectacularly successful Internet," whose success is based on the fact that it is "unregulated, decentralized, and ultimately backed up by the American First Amendment."
Cooke hopes that there is "nobody who will resent" Cameron's tough new measures to combat child pornography, which he has coupled to his crackdown on legal porn. But why not? Cooke supports the policing of child pornography by the state, yet it is no easier to define child pornography than it is to define "violent" or "extreme" pornography. Laws cover not only images of actual child sex crimes, but any depiction of anyone who is or appears to be a minor, depicted in an "indecent" manner – a term that is difficult to define, and which many artists have publicly decried precisely as an abridgement of their liberty. The fact is, there is no logical reason why someone who defends the "liberty" of adults to watch a rape porn flick with an 18-year old in it, should suddenly be willing to fight tooth-and-nail to abridge that liberty when it involves a 17 ½-year old. Libertarian-style conservatives who support the current laws surrounding child pornography simply aren't willing to follow their morally bankrupt philosophy through to its rotten conclusion. And indeed, we should be thankful they aren't.
All societies have had some form of restriction on obscenity, and it is always difficult to define exactly what falls inside and outside of the restricted categories. Things like this are hard, and require us to actually think carefully for once. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, for example, tells us that "civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials." But even Catholics who want a legal ban on all pornography still have to define what it is, since they don't want to send Botticelli's Venus up in flames. No-one, apart from those who defend the legalization of all porn including child porn (and no-one is defending that), gets out of this debate without having to engage their brain, just by mouthing some slogan about "liberty."
That said, Britain is a more censorious society than the United States. Doesn't the American cultural emphasis on the importance of liberty justify the assumption that laws should be as relaxed as possible when it comes to something like pornography?
Not necessarily, when that emphasis on liberty is understood in its proper context. The Founding Fathers were largely small "r" republicans (not to be confused with the big "R" republicanism of the modern Republican Party) and founded America as a republic, in contrast to monarchical and authoritarian European states. "The fundamental elements of republicanism, today as in classical Greece and Rome," Richard Dagger tells us, "are publicity and self-government."
These two are inherently connected. Small "r" republicans believe that government is a res publica, a "public affair" of citizens who govern themselves, and not the responsibility of one person (monarchy) or class (aristocracy). Classical republicans are concerned with liberty, but because their ideal of self-government can only be realized in a state of liberty from both imperium (arbitrary state power) and dominium (the arbitrary power of some private persons over others), and not because individual freedom is believed to be sacrosanct.
In a properly constituted republic – precisely because government is something that we as a people do to ourselves – laws cannot be envisaged as an imposition by the state on the body politic, as if the government were merely an external force. Ironically, the libertarian, who insists on seeing the citizen as merely a subject of an overbearing state instead of a participant in the political community, actually reverts to classical monarchism in its most base form.
Although the UK is not technically a republic, Cameron's recent announcement has come after several years of national public discussion in Britain about how to protect the sexual innocence of children growing up in the internet age. This discussion has been fuelled by several brutal sexual killings in which the killers had become obsessed with violent pornography, and an increasing incidence of child-on-child sex abuse cases, in which children act out scenes from porn on other youngsters. A recent report found that, in the last three years alone, 5,028 sexual offences in which the abuser was under 18 were recorded by British police. The youngest abuser reported was only 5 years old; too young even to be held criminally responsible.
The reason the government's proposals have not proved particularly controversial, therefore, is because they are just a reflection of the consensus that has developed out of the public conversation the people of Britain have been having about how they wish to govern themselves. If we really want to frame the question in terms of "abridging liberty" (which is probably not the best way to see it anyway), then it is best described as a social agreement to mutually abridge liberties for the sake of the common good, not as a leviathan state "censoring" the freedom of its helpless, powerless subjects.
Personal immunity from social coercion is not a first-order concern of classical republicanism. Whereas classical liberals emphasize freedom from the law, classical republicans emphasize freedom by means of the law. That is, the laws which we as a people decide upon should be the kind of laws that help shape us into the sort of people capable of governing ourselves. All societies have to reckon with the power of human sexual desire, not only to unite and integrate people, but, if misdirected, to corrode and destroy them. When this corrosion reaches the kind of proportions it has today, it can hardly be described as just a "personal" problem. Across the West, pornography is now much harder to avoid than it is to access. Is allowing the next generation to grow up with almost unfettered access to limitless depictions of every kind of sexual perversion likely to reproduce a body politic capable of self-government? Or is it likely to produce a confused, depressed, violent generation, addicted not merely to sensuality, but to depravity? A people who are not capable of governing themselves cannot govern themselves, and are therefore ripe for being tyrannized.

Morehead City, N.C. - - - The Morehead City Marlins allowed a season-high total in hits and runs, falling to the visiting Wilson Tobs by a score of 18-7 from Puck O'Neal Field at Big Rock Stadium Friday evening. Wilson scored 12 unanswered runs in the top of the second and third inning to bury the Marlins early in the contest with MHC losing by a double-digit margin for the first time in the 2017 season.
Morehead City is now 13-14 overall, while Wilson improves to 8-19. The Marlins conclude the first half of the regular season tomorrow evening, hosting the Wilmington Sharks for a 7:05 p.m. start with the gates opening at 6 p.m. Listen to the game live on the CPL Webpass with pre-game coverage beginning at 7:05 p.m.
MHC first baseman Chase DeMars (South Carolina) topped the Marlins offensive charts with a 2-for-2 effort at the plate with a RBI and one run scored. Third baseman Daulton Weeks (USC Aiken) went 1-for-2 with a pair of RBIs, while left fielder Sammy Miller (Longwood) posted a 1-for-3 mark with one RBI and a run scored.
For Wilson, designated hitter Dawnoven Smith (NC A&T) led the all batters with a 4-for-5 performance at the plate with one run scored and a solo home run. First baseman Shane Shepard (NC State) was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a game-high five RBIs, while catcher Zack Smith (UNC Charlotte) also tallied five RBIs in a 1-for-4 effort with a run scored.
All seven Wilson runs in the top of the second inning were scored as unearned with defensive mistakes costing the Marlins early in the contest. Morehead City trailed 4-0 before a three-run homer off the bat of Shepard broke the game open, giving the Tobs an early 7-0 advantage.
The Tobs added five more runs in the top frame of the third inning, highlighted by a three-run double from Zack Smith to extend the Wilson lead out to 12-0. The Marlins got on the board in the bottom of the third with a RBI single from Miller followed by a two-run single from Weeks to cut the deficit down to 12-3.
Morehead City would not get any closer than nine runs for the remainder of the contes. The Tobs added a pair of runs in the visiting half of the fifth inning with a RBI double from Shepard and sacrifice fly from Smith to stretch the advantage out to 14-3.
The Marlins got within a single-digit deficit again with two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. MHC second baseman Steven Taylor (Mercer) tripled and scored on a wild pitch followed by a RBI single from DeMars to trim the margin down to 14-5.
Wilson then posted four unanswered in the next three frames to push the lead out to 18-5 in the top frame of the ninth inning. Morehead City tallied two scores in the bottom of the ninth on a RBI double by DeMars with a RBI single from Mark Castellucci (Univ. of Montevallo) to trim the deficit down to 18-7; however, the Tobs held on for the 11-run triumph.
Wilson starting left-handed pitcher Cody Smith (Chowan) got the win, improving to 1-4. Morehead City starting righty Will Hartsell (Charleston Southern) took the loss, falling to 3-1. Marlins righty Kip DeShields (Youngstown State) led the MHC pitching staff, tossing 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief with no hits allowed and one strikeout.
Following the Marlins final contest of the first half tomorrow evening, Morehead City commences the second half of the 2017 campaign on the road at Edenton to face the Steamers Sunday night (July 2) from Historic Hicks Field. The Marlins return home to Big Rock Stadium Monday night, July 3 to face Wilmington as we celebrate the Fourth of July one day early at the ballpark. All first pitches are scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. start.


The latest Android Wear HTC smartwatch has broken cover in a leaked photo-session.
The upcoming wrist-friendly device, codenamed Halfbeak, leaked on the Chinese social network Weibo back in October. It has been pretty quiet since then.
Thankfully, for those awaiting further details, a whole heap of new photos have popped up, again on Weibo, showing the watch in all its glory.
The photos show a circular watch-face, with two buttons on the right-hand side, marked by two arrows.
Other things to note are the pogo pins on the back, with a heart rate sensor. You might also notice the Under Armour logo which points to a tie-in with the fitness fashion brand. This would make sense, since the two companies collaborated on the UA Healthbox platform back in 2016.
The display is 360×360 resolution, which is a little higher than the Moto 360 V2 display, but lower res than the Huawei Watch's display.
The watch also appears to be running the 1.x version of Android Wear, which is interesting as 2.0 is coming out in less than a month. This might just be being used on this possible test device though. I would still expect a new device to come sporting Android Wear 2.0.
There are still no hints as to when we can expect this new HTC wearable to appear in the shops.
Fingers crossed that HTC spills some more deets at Mobile World Congress, next month in Barcelona.

everything there is to know about the bi/pan+ workshop series
Photo by Tallie Robinson on Unsplash
The Bi/Pan+ Workshop is a workshop series for people who are bisexual, pansexual, queer or anyone who has ever been attracted to more than one gender. Last week, I sat down to talk with Dani Muñoz and get the full scoop. Dani is one of the awesome people working at The Annex to facilitate workshops and events for our community. They filled me in on all the details you'd want to know if you're thinking about attending - read on for more!
So what is this group all about? What kinds of things can I expect to talk about at the workshop?
We have conversations about a lot of different topics. We talk about our own gender; about the gender of people that we're attracted to; what it's like to come out; representation in the media; relationships. What are healthy relationships, what aren't; what it's like to be in a relationship when you're not monosexual.
There's still a lot of "pick a side" stigma, both in the straight and gay community. We talk about what it means to be bi or pan, what it means to us personally, and how we can be affected by the erasure of our experiences.
We also talk a lot about how to feel confident and comfortable with yourself in your orientation. There's no single right way to be, and we want to help people be as out as they want to be (and that is different for everyone).
Where do the materials and programming come from for the workshop?
The volunteers that created the group researched and came up with themselves. We have connections with LGBTQ+ centers across the country. We can reach out and get materials from other centers that are willing to share.
The workshop has been around for about two years, and it keeps growing and evolving with each new facilitator, based on feedback from workshop members. We do a lot of surveys to find out what people are interested in and what their needs are.
Do I have to be in a certain age group to attend?
Not at all. Right now the group is a pretty even mix of college-aged people, middle-aged people and people 50+.
If you're under 13, you'd need to get parental consent, and it's up to the facilitator's comfort level on whether we can include someone under 13 in any particular workshop series. But definitely talk to us, and we'll get you connected to support services, whether it's with this group or a different one.
Can I drop in? Do I have to attend every single week?
The workshop runs for eight weeks, and we ask that people try to attend at least five. However, if you can't make it to the full series, drop ins are welcome.
What does it cost to attend the workshop?
It's free! Donations are always welcome, but like every support group at The Center, the Bi/Pan+ Workshop is completely free.
When and where does the Bi/Pan+ Workshop meet?
Where: The Center's Annex location - 841 Mohawk Street, Ste. 260, Bakersfield CA 93309
When: Wednesday, 6:30 - 8:00 PM
If you'd like to attend the Bi/Pan+ Workshop, get in touch with us by calling The Annex at (661-404-5209). You can download a calendar with all of the events taking place every month at both The Annex and The Center here.
Valerie Urso is a freelance writer and marketer living in Bakersfield, CA. They have been working as the volunteer Content Marketing Manager for The Center's blog since November 2018.
Identity Vocabulary: Multisexual Edition
Photo by Vincentiu Solomon on Unsplash
Many members of the queer community, even people who themselves are under the Multisexual Umbrella, are unaware of the Multisexual identities outside of Bisexual. This is a list of the most common Multisexual identities and what they mean.
1. Multisexual/Non-Monosexual
(noun)
An umbrella term for identities that include sexual attraction to two or more sexes, genders, gender expressions, or combinations thereof.
An identity that describes sexual attraction to two or more sexes, genders, gender expressions, or combinations thereof.
Someone who is Multisexual or Non-Monosexual.
Multisexual is both an Umbrella Term, a term used to describe a more broad group of people or ideas, and a less specific Multisexual identity.
2. Bisexual
An identity that describes sexual attraction to two sexes, genders, gender expressions, or combinations thereof. Most commonly used by those who are attracted to both men and women, but can also be used to describe any two part combination of the stated options.
Someone who is Bisexual.
Bisexual is the most well known Multisexual identity, and is often thought of as only describing attraction to men and women, but Bisexual can be used to describe feelings of sexual attraction to any combination of two sexes, genders, or gender expressions. For example, someone who is attracted to both men and agender people could still label themselves as Bisexual.
3. Polysexual
An identity that describes sexual attraction to multiple, but not all, sexes, genders, gender expressions, or combinations thereof. This is often confused with Polyamorous, but is unrelated.
Someone who is Polysexual.
Polysexual people experience sexual attraction to more than two, but not all, sexes, genders, and gender expressions. One of the combinations a Polysexual person could be attracted to could be women, demiwoman, and androgyne people.
4. Omnisexual
An identity that describes sexual attraction to all sexes, genders, gender expressions, or combinations thereof, but not necessarily to the same extent or without preference with one over the other.
Someone who is Omnisexual.
Omnisexual people are attracted to all sexes, genders, and gender expressions, but still consider themselves to be influenced by these things and often have a preference for some over the others. An Omnisexual may be sexually attracted to all combinations, but still prefer nonbinary partners over men or women.
5. Pansexual
An identity that describes sexual attraction to people without regard to their sex, gender, gender expression, or combination thereof.
Someone who is Pansexual.
Pansexuals are the second most well known and most common kind of Multisexuals. They are attracted to all sexes, genders, and gender expressions, and don't consider any of these things to influence their sexual preference. A common saying used by Pansexuals is "Hearts not Parts!"
Please keep in mind that this is not at all an exhaustive list, and there are many more less common and more specific Multisexual identities. However, these are the most common ones and the ones that you are going to run into with the most frequency.

Eva from the Alien Workshop frankly shares her impressions of the visit to the Cancer Institute – a place where children with cancer and diseases live.
"Today, October 26, 2017 was at the Institute of Cancer. This is the place where people, oncology patients spend practically all their time. It happens that it is 3 months, sometimes a year or more. It's like a prison, only there they give you better medicines and conditions. The purpose of my visit was to acquaint the children with the beautiful music of the happydrum musical instrument, which everyone, even a small child, can easily master.
I talked with children who are being treated there. All of them are almost indistinguishable from ordinary healthy children: the same, with ordinary needs for friendship, attention and care. Some of them are afraid to close their eyes, justifying themselves with the fact that they simply do not like to do this. Some do not like to be photographed, because they do not like themselves in the photo, so bald, thin and pale. Some people like cartoons about Frankenstein, because it is so funny that it was connected to electricity and it was recharged from it, and about zombies, apparently, they also have a lot in common. Of course, this will all go well for a purely subjective vision.
We have a lot in common. These children excited in me some very deep memories of their rejection. I have buried them long ago and now they float out now in the form of incessant pain and tears.
I fall into remorse. I repent to those whom I did not take, for any manifestation, self-expression. Excuse me. It was unfair, I know. Now I understand why. After all, everyone deserves to manifest and create in this world. Everyone has the right to be burned and made mistakes, to show their own anger, joy, grief, to their own truth. Each has its place to be and its value. Each.


There is a popular belief that the best way for children to learn is for them to be sent away to a "brick and mortar" school, where highly trained educators will teach them the subjects they need to succeed in the world.
This belief rejects homeschooling, because dedicated mothers and fathers are simply not as good as government school teachers.
For the sake of argument, let's say they are right. Let's say that, as a homeschool dad, I'm not as good.
Still, when I teach my children about our nation's history, I will be teaching from three different texts. The first is The Great Republic : A History of America by Sir Winston Churchill. The others, America: The Last Best Hope: Volumes I and II, are by Dr. William J. Bennett, former secretary of education under President Ronald Reagan.
Both of these authors know America's history and have created fantastic texts from which to teach it. While I may not be a history major, or a certified teacher, I can read these books, teach from them, and supplement the text with additional curriculum of my choosing.
If my child were in a public school, what would they be learning from?
One of the more popular texts is The People's History of the United States by the late Howard Zinn, a radical Marxist.
I wanted my writing of history and my teaching of history to be a part of the social struggle. I wanted to be a part of history and not just a recorder of history and a teacher of history. So that kind of attitude towards history, history itself is a political act, has always informed my writing and my teaching.
For an example of how bizarre Zinn's accounting of history is, consider his take on World War II. According to Zinn, America was at fault. We provoked Japan.
Zinn also fails to mention "Washington's Farewell Address, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Reagans' speech at the Brandenburg Gate." D-Day's Normandy Beach invasion isn't covered by Zinn, but he dedicates several pages to the My Lai Massacre. His efforts to paint America as an evil country are visible on every page of the text.
But then again, the students in the all important "brick and mortar" school may not even be burdened with learning history. North Carolina state education leaders recently floated the idea of starting high school level American history at 1877, foregoing all that unnecessary learning about the Revolutionary War or even the Civil War.
Why would this even be considered?

Unlocking the smartphone by recognizing the user's face has recently become quite a popular convenience. However, most of the mechanisms available on Android are not secure enough. That's why Google started working on its own Face ID counterpart. This feature should be available on devices with Android Q.
Face recognition is a pretty useful function. However, hardly any Android smartphone uses a mechanism that provides security similar to Apple's Face ID. Most Android phones recognize the user's face based on the analysis of the photo taken with the front camera. This mechanism is not very safe and can be fooled by a simple photo. More sophisticated methods use infrared camera, IR luminator, proximity sensor and TOF (Time of Fly) sensor. The right combination of all these elements allows to build a system that makes a three-dimensional face scan. Systems similar to Face ID have few Android smartphones. They are, for example, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition. However, thanks to Google work, other manufacturers could join to this group.
Nobody admitted this openly. However, we can almost be sure that the biggest difficulties that Huawei and Xiaomi encountered while working on Face ID were related to software development. The Chinese had to first implement a user's face scanning mechanism. Then came the algorithm that compares the face of a person trying to unlock the phone with a pattern stored in the memory. This means that Huawei and Xiaomi had to introduce in Android quite a lot of proprietary changes. However, the code snippets found in the latest test version of Android Q suggest that Google will provide the software needed for the Face ID equivalent.
The bottom line is that Google's Face ID will be integrated with payments in the Play store. This means that the Mountain View giant has developed a face recognition system that is just as safe as fingerprint readers. Unfortunately, we do not know when it will be available in Android Q. It is also difficult to speculate whether Pixel 4 will support Face ID. However, Google engineers must somehow test new functionality. It's true that they can do it with the Pixel 4 prototype, but it can also be Huawei Mate 20 Pro or Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition.

Care home residents across Gloucestershre being taken around the world by random acts of kindness
Today is World Kindness day so make sure you something nice because it will ripple out and make you feel good too
Janet HughesSenior Digital Reporter
joker Alan keeps everybody amused
Margaret is in her 90s and living in a care home but the kindness of random strangers can transport her back to the days when she was a young woman holidaying with her family on the south coast.
Once a week the postman arrives at her Gloucester care home with a bundle of postcards that lifts the the loneliness and isolation that often comes with old age by taking the residents on a mental journey around the world.
And what may look like an old-fashioned exercise in the days of speedy electronic communications means so much to elderly people in care homes across Gloucestershire.
Postcards of Kindness started as a small scheme designed to bring some joy into the life of care home residents in one area of the country.
But over the last year it has snowballed and now 1,268 care homes and over 30,000 people have signed up for the main scheme.
Now schools, workplaces, churches and individuals are sending postcards to tell strangers in care homes, hospices and hospitals about their lives, loves and travels.
Margaret with one of her postcards
Margaret is at the Westbourne Care Home on Reservoir Road in Gloucester and looks forward to the images from places like Torquay and Bournemouth because they remind her of past holidays.
"It's always nice to get something through the post," she said.
"The postcards help you keeps you in touch with the world and it's nice to think somebody else is thinking of you."
Most are addressed to the home but along with another resident, Joyce, Margaret has started a personal postcard exchange with a mother and daugher from the Scottish highlands.
Practical joker Alan Wright, 90, was delighted when a card arrived from his home town of Portsmouth where he grew up before moving to Gloucester.
The picture of the docks, which now has pride of place in his bedroom, reminded him of the days when he was a young firefighter dealing with blazes at the shipyard.
Westbourne activities co-ordinator Lucy Tyndall said the small random act of kindness by strangers has had such a large impact on the elderly people in the home.
Martin Lewis shares urgent warning to all Mother Care gift card users
Margaret has relatives who visit but some don't and they particularly really look forward to the postcards filled with chit chat and stories of holidays.
One man with a retiring nature started chatting more when he received a postcard which reminded him of all the cruises he had been on.
"I think the original idea was too create pen pals but they decided postcards were easier than letters," she said.
"It's a wonderful idea and it's really taken off. We joined a few months ago and our residents love it.
A Postcard of Kindness
"They love getting the cards and it really helps them reminisce about things like their favourite food and drink or schools they went to.
"The postcards get people talking. Once somebody sent a card with an old picture of the New Inn in Gloucester and that got eveybody talking for days about pubs in Gloucester.

"I think they like getting cards from abroad because it reminds them of the times they went on holiday and we have had postcards from as far away as Dubai and America.
The postcards are dotted around home so the residents can enjoy reading them but some take favourite ones into their rooms.
Some of the replies residents are about to send out this week
Once a week Lucy arranges a session to help those who want to send replies so it is a two way process.
The closed Facebook group Postcards of Kindness keeps a database of the 1,268 homes and have created a spreadsheet so they get a fair share of the cards sent every week.
Lucy Tyndall with some of the cards
They say the scheme allows care home residents to travel the world alongside card writers, stirring up memories and brightening up their day.
But they warn people not to send postcards from abroad until they get home so they don't advertise empty homes.
And today is the best day to sign up to the scheme because World Kindness Day is celebrated annually on November 13, today.
Some of the postcards
Inside Tom Kerridge's new restaurant at hotel transformed by ex-Manchester United players
First launched in Tokyo in 1998, participants attempt to make the world a better place by celebrating and promoting good deeds and pledging acts of kindness, either as individuals or as organisations.
The UK joined in November 2010, and the event has continued to grow in popularity every year with increasing numbers of individuals, schools, charities, institutions and businesses taking part.
They say making the world a kinder place is good for everyone because studies show being treated with kindness can have real physical health benefits.

Tiny House Planning - The Tiny House UK "Office".
If I buy some land, can I live in a Tiny House?
As a static garden building the Local Authorities have rules that need to be adhered to when placing your Tiny House.
Tiny Houses have been designed to comply with both planning regulations in the UK as well as complying with Road Traffic Regs for the transportation of such buildings. The Height of Your Tiny House will be within the 4 meters permitted for garden buildings (Duel pitched roof) and 2.5meters for flat roofed (slight slope) that includes Tiny Houses on a chassis.
All Tiny Houses are built to a maximum height of 3.95 meters (including chassis.) When siting your Tiny House in the garden or grounds, there are some golden rules as well. Tiny Houses have to be 2 meters from a boundary. If your Tiny House is to be located within 1 meter of a boundary, then your Tiny House will be a single pitched roof with a height of no more than 2.5 meters.
However, a Tiny House is on wheels and is not a permanent structure! Check with your local planning office as all cases are viewed individually. Tiny Houses on the move.
Although your Tiny house will be delivered in kit form for self-assembly, it is important to remember why you bought a Tiny House. You may be a student, finishing University, debt free and in possession of a Tiny House still on campus grounds. So, do you sell it on to help an entrant, whilst giving yourself a financial leg up at the same time? Or, do you pitch it with Mum and Dad for a year or two whilst you get your feet on the ground? After all, you have no debt and on the housing ladder, RIGHT? Or, in time, you may decide that you want a different view and decide to turn your Tiny House to face the trees or rivers or hills or valley's or anywhere you please (STPP).
You may be part of a Tiny Community which has to jiggle plots every now and then to make way for new contributors to your community. As certain tasks or roles are fulfilled, skills may be needed elsewhere, developing other Tiny Communities. People will move on at some time in their life and it makes sense to be prepared for it even if you think it will never happen.
Being prepared is an integral part of the Tiny House movement. What we're saying is that one day, you may have to move. So, after many years of Designing, tinkering, toying, building and re-design, Mark has problem solved both the challenges to the build quality and also to comply with the Tiny House Movement philosophy of free roaming. Tiny Houses are within the road legal width restrictions imposed on the UK road network. Tiny Houses fit under motorway bridges with 3 ft to spare. They are no more than 2.5 meters wide, which means that a competent driver with a "category BE" on their driving licence can tow or carry it. Towing over distance is not recommended… A Tiny house is not a Caravan although if it could be classified as one it would be compliant as the ceiling height is under 3.2 meters. If you are going to tow one. Then make sure you have a vehicle of at least equal weight to it. A minimum of a Transit type vehicle is good or a large 4x4. Some Transition Towns and Green Communities have vehicle sharing schemes. Tiny Houses are road legal. They weigh about three tons inclusive of chassis.
Remember, we are not in a position to give planning advice, only your local council can do that so please check with your local planning office.

Task Force to be formed to curb smuggling
Govt's Anti-Smuggling Committee meets
Imran Mukhtar
ISLAMABAD - The Anti-Smuggling Steering Committee of the federal government met here on Monday with Interior Minister Brigadier (r) Ijaz Ahmad Shah in the chair.
The committee decided to frame a new policy and form a task force to curb the menace of smuggling in the country. The committee that was constituted on the directives of Prime Minister Imran Khan, in its second meeting in less than a month, also decided that a comprehensive action plan on anti-smuggling would be submitted to the premier within a week.
The meeting that was held at the Ministry of Interior and was attended by police chiefs of four provinces besides other senior officers decided that Customs Department would increase its coordination with border management forces and other departments.
It was also decided at the meeting to install modern equipment in the border areas to increase surveillance of smugglers.
The four chief secretaries were asked to submit their suggestions to curb smuggling, said a statement issued by the Interior Ministry.
The interior minister expressed surprise over the fact that successive governments failed to recognise smuggling as an issue for seventy years despite massive losses to the economy of the country.
The maritime affairs minister, who co-chaired the meeting, said that smuggling through sea was causing losses of billions of dollars to the export of fish and other seafood.
The interior secretary gave a detailed briefing on coordination between Customs, civil armed forces and the other law-enforcement agencies. He also gave a proposal for the digitization of data relating to trade and smuggling. The commerce secretary highlighted anomalies in the system of tariffs and the steps required to regulate Afghan Transit Trade.
The secretary law and justice on the occasion recommended amending various Acts to make crackdown on smuggling more effective. The secretary maritime affairs spoke about the quantum of smuggling through sea and gave suggestions to effectively control the menace.
He stressed the need for collaboration between provincial and federal governments' agencies and installation of vessel monitoring system on boats, ships so that the export of fish and other seafood could be increased to $1billion.
The committee was constituted on July 1 on the orders of PM with interior minister as its convener, minister for maritime affairs as its co-convener and interior secretary as member and secretary of the committee.
The federal secretaries of commerce, narcotics control, national food security & research, maritime affairs and law & justice ministries are also members of the committee.
The first meeting of Anti-Smuggling Steering Committee was held on 10th of this month. The meeting had formed four sub-committees with clearly defined TORs as instructed by the prime minister.
One of the sub-committees was formed on trade and industries, tasked with looking after economic development initiatives in the border areas and to be chaired by commerce secretary. Another sub-committee was formed on legal and regulatory framework to be chaired by law secretary. The other two sub-committees were formed on administrative, financial and infrastructure requirements to be chaired by interior secretary and on smuggling through sea to be chaired by secretary maritime affairs.

Kamienica Pod Złotym Słońcem (niem.: Haus Zur Goldenen Sonne)) – kamienica na wrocławskim Rynku, wybudowana w stylu barokowym.

Historia kamienicy
Kamienica powstała na miejscu dwóch domów z XIII wieku, z których zachowały się wnęki okienne z tego okresu. Następnie była wielokrotnie przebudowywana i powiększana, ostateczny wygląd uzyskała po przebudowie i nadaniu jej stylu barokowego w latach 1694-1695 oraz remontach w latach 1727 i 1740.

Zamieszkiwana przez bogatą rodzinę Bonerów, którzy posiadali w niej zamontowany w XV wieku sejf – odkryty potem przez archeologów.

Kamienica była miejscem kwaterowania najważniejszych gości, razem z kamienicami Pod Błękitnym Słońcem i Pod Siedmioma Elektorami, z którymi była połączona przejściami, stanowiła rezydencję dla króla Czech Władysława Jagiellończyka, cesarza Rudolfa II oraz Ferdynanda II.

Po 1945
W czasie II wojny światowej zachodnia pierzeja rynku, przy której znajduje się kamienica została uszkodzona w niewielkim stopniu. Od roku 1965 do grudnia 2004 w Kamienicy Pod Złotym Słońcem mieściły się sale ekspozycyjne Muzeum Sztuki Medalierskiej we Wrocławiu.

Od 2010 roku, po zakończeniu remontu generalnego, kamienica zaczęła ona pełnić funkcję Muzeum "Pana Tadeusza": miejsca przechowywania i ekspozycji rękopisu Pana Tadeusza; w jego strukturze znalazły się też gabinety Jana i Jadwigi Nowak-Jeziorańskich oraz Władysława i Zofii Bartoszewskich.

Filipinx: Heritage Recipes From The Diaspora
In her debut cookbook, acclaimed chef Angela Dimayuga shares her passion for Filipino food with home cooks.
Filipinx offers 100 deeply personal recipes—many of them dishes that define home for Angela Dimayuga and the more than four million people of Filipino descent in the United States. The book tells the story of how Dimayuga grew up in an immigrant family in northern California, trained in restaurant kitchens in New York City—learning to make everything from bistro fare to Asian-American cuisine—then returned to her roots, discovering in her family's home cooking the same intense attention to detail and technique she'd found in fine dining.
In this book, Dimayuga puts a fresh spin on classics: adobo, perhaps the Filipino dish best known outside the Philippines, is traditionally built on a trinity of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic—all pantry staples—but add coconut milk, vinegar, and oil, and it turns lush and silky; ribeye steaks bring extra richness to bistek, gilded with butter and a bright splash of lemon and orange juice. These are the punches of flavor and inspired recipes that home cooks have been longing for.
A modern, welcoming resource for this essential cuisine, Filipinx shares exciting and approachable recipes everyone will wholeheartedly embrace in their own kitchens.

Mobile will lead to an overall increase in digital marketing spend on affiliate networks this year despite the VAT increase, according to research by LinkShare.


I agree with the last sentiment that you should just be yourself and some days you do want to wear a dress and some days you want to wear skinny jeans and you shouldn't be persecuted for it. Honestly though my main problem is that I mainly wear dresses but I worry people will just skip me over and think I am straight but really, I shouldn't have to wear a checkered shirt just to validate the fact I'm bisexual! Arrrrgh, confusing.
I am bisexual and also dress.. Like a bisexual, and always have, I have always been just as comfortable in tomboy clothes as girly stuff. I however, wear either depending more on my mood than the situation/who I'm with, I will wear jeans, high tops and a hoodie with my straight girl friends and a dress and heels on the scene, or any mix. I really like that I feel genuinely comfortable in anything and I agree with Optimus ( 🙂 ), I still feel like me in either.

Pasha's Bedouin
Pasha's Bedouin Tribes and State in the Egypt of Mehemet Ali, 1805-1848 von Aharoni, Reuven (eBook)
Verlag: Taylor and Francis
Egypt's history is interwoven with conflicts of Bedouin, governments and peasants, competing over same cultivated lands and of migrations of nomads from the deserts to the Nile Valley. Mehemet Ali's era represented the initial ending of the traditional tribalism, and the beginning of emergence of a semi-urban community, which became an integral part of the sedentarised population. Providing a new perspective on tribal life in Egypt under Mehemet Ali Pasha's rule, The Pasha's Bedouin examines the social and political aspects of the Bedouin during 1805-1848. By highlighting the complex relationships which developed between the government of the Pasha and the Bedouin, Reuven Aharoni sets out to expose the Bedouin as a specialised social sector of the urban economy and as integral to the economic and political life in Egypt at the time. This study aims to question of whether the elements of bureaucratic culture which characterised the central and provincial administration of the Pasha, indicate special attitudes towards this sector of the population. Subjects covered include: The 'Bedouin' policy of Mehemet AliTerritory and identity, tribal economies Tribe and state relationsTribal leadershipWith a long experience in fieldwork among Bedouin in the Sinai and the Negev, as well as using a range of archival documents and manuscripts both in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, this highly researched book provides an essential read for historians, anthropologists and political scientists in the field of social and political history of the Middle East. Reuven Aharoni, Ph.D (2001) in Middle Eastern History, Tel-Aviv University, teaches history of the Middle East at the Haifa University and at the Open University of Israel.
